Guitar BY Anthony

If your looking to start or improve
Guitars by Anthony is the pace to go
I am gaining a good percentage of insight
as I go along taking lessons.

I’ve been taking weekly lessons with Anthony for a year. To sum it up, he is amazing. I studied classical piano for seven years as a child and hated it. He’s totally different. I can’t wait to see him each week. I’ve been with him for a year. No prior lessons. No piano for over 20 years. One year later, I’m actually playing Page, Gilmour, Young, Clapton, and JImi. The best way to describe him is Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid. At first, you do all these exercsises. Then one by one, it all comes together and you learn that you had all these skills without even realizing it. Wax on wax off. How about hammer on pull off. What’s better than learning like that.

Wonderful teacher. All styles. Prices are amazingly reasonable for the quality of instruction given. Anthony is a great guy, can’t recommend him more.

Guitar by Anthony deserves 10 stars.
How could there be NO reviews for him on Unilocal?I’m happy to be the first. I’ve been a guitarist for over 4 decades and have a degree in classical guitar from a conservatory. I always played finger style, nylon strings, never even held a pick. When I decided I wanted to learn steel-​string acoustic, a musician friend recommended Tony. All I can say is, wow. Not only can he play the heck out of the instrument in any genre you can name, but his people skills and teaching methodology are first-​rate. «Never is heard a discouraging word» in Tony’s studio. And his philosophy, that practicing the guitar should be a source of joy and pleasure, not a punishment, is the mark of a real musician.
Tony teaches children, and beginners, intermediate and advanced players of all ages. His rates are weirdly inexpensive. How does he do it? Four half-​hour lessons for $ 100 TOTAL — yup, that’s $ 25 a lesson. It would still be a bargain at twice the price.
Tony is a working guitarist with a very strong background in rock and blues, but I’ve also watched him demonstrate rockabilly, country, jazz, bluegrass, finger-​picking/​folk and even classical with spontaneity and ease. Truly, the man does it all.
As a life-​long musician I’ve had numerous teachers in guitar, piano and voice, and even taught a bit myself in the past. Given my experience, I feel confident in saying that Tony is a superb teacher. I’ve referred several people to him who have come back and thanked me. His positive attitude is inspiring and his systematic, well-​thought-​out program, tailored to each person’s unique needs and desires, is very impressive.
I’m sure there are a lot of great teachers in New York City, but let me save you the trouble of finding one, and encourage you to give Tony a call. You won’t be disappointed.
By the way, Tony has no idea I’m writing this review. This is unsolicited praise from a very picky, critical person (me).
